It is difficult to assess work-life balance with objective discretionary time because the distinction between work and rest is ambiguous. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between time poverty and subjective indicators of work-life balance among Korean dependent self-employed workers. Data on 2328 dependent employed workers were extracted from the Fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2017) and analyzed by a multiple regression method. First, the descriptive results indicated that dependent self-employed workers had long paid work and lack of discretionary time and were less likely to be satisfied with the work-life balance than general standard workers. Second, in the descriptive comparison by occupation, some dependent self-employed workers showed that objective discretionary time was inconsistented with subjective work-life balance. Third, results from regression showed that dependent self-employed workers were more likely to be time-poor, whereas the dual-poor were not related to the work-life balance. The findins showed that dependent self-employed workers are in vulnerable conditions due to their non-standard labor characteristics. Therefore, they are deviated from standard contracted employee. This study pointed to the limits of labor policy for self-employed workers excluded from the labour rights and the lack of social security system.
